Chris Sale Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I don't really understand why he took out Santiago. He was in a jam, but he's been a starter for years and this is like the third inning he's pitched. Predictable result to be honest. I guess now we have a game.

Chris Sale Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Check that --- he wasn't even in a jam! Just 1 on 1 out. Strange decision. This is getting painful. Hopefully we get out of this inning with a lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 01:08 PM) That's kind of what I was thinking. He doesn't have an overpowering fastball, and his offspeed pitches aren't very deceptive. Which suggests to me he should have pinpoint control then, but that isn't there either. What am I missing? Nothing; He hasn't passed the eye test much at all. The only thing that gave me some hope was that little run (which was totally unexpected) he had to finish last year. Outside of that, not much to like about Fulmer's performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's not Bumgarner. Given how early the game was, how bad the pen is, and that it was only a couple of innings, I still would have liked to see him given a longer leash through the fourth inning. Although hindsight is 20/20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Too early to start thinking about another Top 3-5 pick in 2019?  Moncada finally made an out. If that crazy ball Granderson trapped against the wall went out in TOR, he’d have two grand salamis already and 4 homers...not to mention just missing a couple due to the wind in KC.
